Re: Brock Vond in Moscow

The aged pornosophical witch-hunt? It seems a fairly established instition, when a writer infringes on the so-called excellent morals of a people. The morals of the people are, indeed, so excellent, that they are subject to being terminally damaged at the hands of a single book, a single Bulgakov, a single line of Solovyev.

And of course, this parts from such an optimistic belief in the nature of people, from such a castrated understanding of morals, of excellence, from such intrinsic fractures in the most essential integrity of the indicting system itself. 

What the devil is pornography anyway? Where is the line drawn? What could possibly be more obscene than a persecutory establishment? Is there a means to censor Them?
